We visited for a family meal. Unfortunately no one contacted or it wasn’t on the booking email regarding a pre - order so this put our meal preparation time longer. The food was lovely however and staff very friendly and accommodating. It was a little strange sat amongst drinkers whilst eating a booked restaurant meal, however they soon left and caused no grief.

We came as a family of 3 for a Sunday dinner. The meal itself was so nice, the beef was cooked to perfection and no fat insight. The leeks and cabbage on the dinner along with the carrots was a great choice of veg. My son is autistic and will only eat Yorkshire puddings dry with cranberry sauce. This wasn't an issue this is exactly what he got for his lunch. The staff were friendly and very accommodating and we were sat in a quieter corner which was perfect.

We were a table of 8 and the food quality and service were excellent. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming and was even more so that night as it was games night so lots of games to participate in ( but with no pressure to join in if you didn’t want to) . Would highly recommend.

Went for the first time today for sunday lunch, what a little gem. There was a choice of 3 meats, cabbage, carrots, roasties,mash and homemade Yorkshire pudding with stuffing, and lashings of gravy, we had adult plates , but we think next time a small plate would be sufficient. The staff were very attentive, we noticed there were regular groups who must come every sunday and the staff were so attentive and kind, it made our first visit memorable and can't wait to return.

If you are looking for a warm and welcoming pub with fantastic food, look no further than The Cross Keys in Darfield. From the moment you step inside, you'll feel like you're part of the family! The atmosphere is cosy and inviting, with a rustic decor that perfectly matches the pub's charming character. Dan and his team are incredibly friendly and attentive and go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience. Every dish on the menu is made with care and attention to detail. Their Sunday roasts are delicious, as well as their evening meals, and the homemade desserts are a must have! We have been to their wine and gin-tasting evenings which are great nights out either as a couple or with friends. They also have Thursday quiz nights which are lots of fun and plenty of prizes to win! Overall, we can't recommend this family-run pub enough. It's the perfect place to gather with friends and family over a nice meal or an evening at the quiz, and the warm and welcoming atmosphere will make you feel right at home. It really is worth a visit!

We went for breakfast on Easter Friday and thankfully had booked a table because it was heaving. We've been before and hadn't needed to book as it's never been as busy. The parking can be a bit of a problem as there aren't many options other than the Hare and Hounds car park or the main road but there is a time limit which could leave you with a ticket. It was full that morning and the car park only had one space left. As we were leaving a woman had been driving up and down waiting for a space to become free. I'm not sure if there's anywhere close by to give another option. Amyway, we had 4 cooked breakfasts, 2 small and 2 normal. They come with tea/coffee and a slice of toast. It would be nice to be able to swap out items or pick extra items and I like to be able to butter my own toast but that's because I, weirdly, don't like the butter to soak in. It would be lovely to have the option of fried bread, they offer spam as an option but weirdly not fried bread. We didn't ask for anything to be added or removed because I am sure they would have done it but I very much go by the menu and it's probably much easier to churn out set meals that messing around with removing or adding items. They have lots of options and some interesting specials for breakfast, including halloumi and chilli poached eggs with avocado. All in all, it was quite tasty and the place is very clean and the service good. We will definitely be back as it's become a bit or a regular breakfast meet up for us.

We were a group of 9 visiting the area from down south over the Easter weekend. We ordered a selection of food from the menu, including the filled Yorkshire Pudding, Chicken & Mushroom Pie, Steak Pie, and Chicken Tikka. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were large, in fact several of our party were unable to finish their meals! Honestly the best Chicken & Mushroom pie I've ever had and I also helped my adult Son with his Yorkshire Pudding which was filled with the most tender braising steak (other fillings were available). And all at amazing prices (half the price of what we're used to down south). Hoping there's a need to visit the area again so we can return to the Boatman's Rest!

Left before ordering, we didn't dare sit down in case we landed on another customer's knee! This small venue has too many tables pushed into the space available, plus steps inside the door to navigate. Too many levels. Profits are essential but not at the cost of practicality, ease of movement and comfort.
